Product Description

Manufacturere Part Number: BA01630

  • Brightwell Aquatics Xport-Bio is an Ultra-porous Biological Media with Superior Performance Characteristics
  • Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced material with vast surface area for colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria, resulting in rapid and efficient conversion of ammonia into nitrite and nitrate
  • 150 grams
  • Xport-BIO is not a chemical filtration media; it must be seeded with appropriate bacteria to begin nitrification. Simply placing Xport-BIO into an established aquarium will slowly seed the media, however seeding with MicroBacter as directed above will significantly decrease cycling time and therefore results in faster results. Seed each 150 g of Xport-BIO used with 20-ml of MicroBacter.
  • The highest colonizable surface area to volume ratio of synthetic biological filtration media available
  • Higher efficiency relative to conventional media results in smaller space requirements to achieve equivalent nitrification
  • May be employed to rapidly decrease ammonia and nitrite concentrations in even the most heavily-stocked aquatic systems
  • May be used in conjunction with Xport-NO3 and Xport-PO4
  • Instructions and Guidelines
  • Read all instructions before use. The use of a mechanical pre-filter to remove particulate organic material from water prior to its interaction with this media will improve efficiency. Rinse Xport-BIO in purified water or low-TDS fresh water, then place media into a clean pail and fill with water from the aquarium into which the media is to be placed. Seed each 150 g of Xport-BIO used with 20-ml of MicroBacter7 (poured into the pail and dispersed by hand), then allow media to remain in this "bath" for 24-hours at room temperature. Remove Xport-BIO from pail and pour water into the aquarium system, then place Xport-BIO into canister filter, media reactor, or 800・ mesh filter bag; a flow-through rate of 1 - 3x the total aquarium volume per hour is recommended. Do not fluidize. Remove and rinse ~33% of the total Xport-BIO employed in a pail of discarded aquarium water (when performing a water change) once or twice each month, and place media back into use. Apply 1-ml of MicroBacter7 per 20 US-gallons (~76 L) in system to aquarium in an area of high water flow to fortify media after rinsing.
